From the NYT:

Employers continued to create jobs but pulled back on hiring, a sign that more businesses are putting expansion plans on hold as they deal with economic uncertainty.

The economy added 73,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported on Friday, lower than economists’ expectations. The unemployment rate slightly rose to 4.2 percent, up from 4.1 percent the month before.

In a sign that the labor market may not have been as robust as it seemed earlier this year, job gains from the past two months were also revised down by a total of 258,000, an unusually high number.

Jobs lower than expectations.

Unusually downward revision of prior months.

Unemployment slightly up.

Everything Trump touches dies.
